Will be bringing home my first 8N tommorrow.

I understant the horsepower is 23 to 27 or so. Can this run a 6' mower??? The guy has one for sale but it was not on an 8N. What are my limitations on impliments like plows, etc.

Thanks

An N will run a 6' mower. If it is a brush hog or shredder mower, get an overrunning coupler to keep you and the tractor from going places you don't want to. If it is a finish mower, you can get by without one, but I use one anyway. Other advice will be on the way, I'm sure.

Thanks for the info Jon, Stuart and all.

I haven't even seen my 8N yet. Purchased it sight unseen from a farmer I know and trust. Was his baby until retirement. Info is from him and as far as I am concerned gospel. Runs very nice, tires 70%, sheet metal straight,needs paint, front distributor, 6V, hard starting when damp. Comes with loader and front mount hydralics (what ever that is), loader has snow bucket and dirt bucket. Comes with cultivator and 3 point. He has a 6' finish mower that I am going to look at (what are they worth???). Paid $1950 for all but the finish mower. Going to pick it up tomorrow. My IH Cub Cadet collection will be jealous!!!!!

Sounds like a good deal. I was having fun today grading around the horse barn. Last owner was too lazy to move the muck pile away from the barn and the rot was starting at the bottom. My little N was flawless! As others have said "Njoy"! StuK

6' finish will run @ 2k new, rear discharge. Just bought a 4' sidedischarge, @ 8 yrs old. In good shape, new belt, recent bearing change. $200 good deal. Welcome, good luck and Njoy. They are fun to have. DON TX

An override coupler mounts on the pto shaft. It looks like a pto shaft extension. It allows the brushhog shaft to "freewheel" when you push in the clutch on the tractor and the tractor pto shaft stops. If you don't have one the inertia built up in the brushhog will continue to turn the pto shaft on the tractor and push it until the blades come to a halt. My 8N came with one already on it, but if yours didn't they're only about $50

Hi Bruce,

You and I are both 'N'ewbies! An overrunning clutch (OC) is a basically a rachet device on the implement drive shaft. For example when you disengage the clutch, a large mower (bush hog etc. has a lot of spinning mass and does not stop right away. With the clutch disengaged you only disconnect the motor, the blade is still attached to the trans and hence the axle. The mower's enertia will push the the tractor along and often into places you don't want to go, trees fences etc! The OC will allow the mower side of the shaft to spin while the rachet clicks (overruns)on the PTO side. After bushogging the past few days I learned that the blade goes a LONG time! BTW tell us about your 8N! StuK
